the reception into Bt itish pay of a number of foreign troop 4 that bad arrived in this country under the command of the Duke of Brunswick Oels; wished to kneyw if it was the intention of Ministers to advise .Majesty to make ,any.communication to, the House on the Fubject The CHANCELLOI of the EXCJIECIUHR replied in the negative; unless indeed he might receive his Majesty's commartds to make some. communication 'relative to the gallant leader of these _troops -- Such a communication es that alluded to by the Noble Lord was unnecessary ; for it was perfectly consistent :with the. existing laws 'that a certain number of foreign troops :should, be .in ,British pay, and that number • bad note been exceeded by the accession of the troops Under the Duke of Brunswick If, however, it hacL.been ex ceeded, :under the' peculiar circumstances in which those brave soldiers arrived, such a step would, in his opinion, have been completely justi fiable ; although in that case he should certainly have thought it his duty to advise a communication to Parliament on the subjea. Lord l't.mma expressed himself satisfied with this explanation:—Adjourned.

PE E LE, Military Sec. Fort St. .George, Aug. 30, 180 g. GENERAL ORDERS BY THE HONOURABLE THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.: • 'A Report haS been received by the Governor in , Connell from the Officer commanding in Mysore, stating, that the troops which Comp-ised the garri son of S'erigapatam surrendered at discretion, on the 23d inst..; delivered up their arms, and proceed ed to the stations in Mysore allotted for their resi dence. It • ha's been ascertained that the Native Trodps which proceeded from Chittledroog were entirely ignorant of the real designs of their Officers; and marched under an impression produced by, their 9mcers - ;,----that his Highness the Rajah of Mysore had commented hostilities against the British Go vernment, and attacked the fort of Seringapatam.— The appearance of the Mysore horse confirmed this opiii:on in the -minds of those trecips, and when they' found in the contest before Seringapatam, which was tegun by the - Mysore horse, that the British Force acted against them, they abandoned their arms, and endeavoured to sate their Jibes by • flight. ,- --It appears that a - considerable number escaped_ into the Fort of Seriugapatzm. explanation is due to the general conduct of the Native Troops under this Government, who, under circurmi..oce3 of ,peculiar difficulty. Mani fested a fidelity and - attachment to the State that reflects great lionour on their charaaer. The Governor in Council was persuaded that it was only by deceiving - the"Natve Troops that . they . could be misled. from their duty; and their condutt in every satiation; i!heTre..they had an ,opportunity of being made acquainted with the true situation of affairs, justifies ihe high Opinion which he enter- . tained of itheir zeal and fidelity, and ;entitles them to the approbation and thanks of tfi - e''Oovet The Governor in Council: greliflf 2 ascribes the' early termination-Of . the'disturbalices'iii Mysore; to . the and' talents' of the: acting l'tcsic:enr, the Hot).

VRICE OF STOCKS Tprs BAY AT TWELVE, O'CLOCIe. Consols - - 6 7i 68 ,T S U N. SOLEM QUIS.DICERIL FALSUM AUDEAT ? L 0 N I) 0 N, FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1810. We yesterday communicated to our Readers some intelligence of considerab:e importance from Arne rica. The American Government hag, as we pre. dieted it would, cautiously avoided the fenewal 'of the embargo;, that measuiv,- which : wAs .. to reduce Gt 4.4 Britain to 'submission; has nearly ruined the commercial interest df Atilerica. .Of embargcs therefore in America, of that "dignifiefWithdraw; ing within herself," Nere confidently predict we shall hear no more. But a new plan is to be adopted all punk and priVate Ships, belonging iL? Gre'at Bt itain and France, ate prohibited from entering the A met i ..• , Can ports. This resolution in words, appliesequally to both belligerents; but in substance only,against Great - Britain. France, it is perfe'etly well known, Could 'no t send any public or private ships to the harbout; of LONPON Printedby Rit At the Sum-OFF; America this prohibition - - ,therefor a:: leaves tier pFebisely where she • • was before, , and • operates only apinst Britain. The same OSserv'dtion also applies to .the next clause in the Bill now before the American Legislature, which' piohibits all • importations from Great BritaiU‘ and France, and 'their Colonies, except, in American vessels. France could not send her produce to Ame riea'in French ships, for obvious reasons, therefore this law will 'impose no restriaion upon her, ..but • applies direaly and forcibly to Great Britain. Many 'observations naturally suggest themselves to us upon this subjz.-'a., but as- a Negoeiation •is .aauallsr pend ing between theitwo Countries, it may be, more pro per-to abstain, from uaakng them at present.' An Opposition Paper of this morning has given a .List of the Membeis who divided .on the Amend ment to the Address - on W e d nes d a y, but with its usual adherence to candour, has tompletely tnisrepr,.sented the grounds upon which the . division took place. In speaking of those Mem.- bers Who .voted for the Address, and, against the 'Amendment, it describes 'them 'as Members " who voted _against pledging . the: House of Commons to ,Inquiries."—This is neither an accurate nor a t rue state of the question, and we refer forthe truth of our assertion to the columns of the Paper alluded to, containing the Debates and the Amend ment moved on Tuesday night.. The Majority did not vote against Inquiry, but they voted against an Amendment, which at tue same time passed a strong 'censure upon the conduct of Government, and called for an Investigation, to know whether that con :duct was culpable or not. The Address which was • agreed to does not preclude Inquiry ; it , leaves -that point entirely to the discretion of the Ircinse, after it stair have been put in possession of the docutneuts which are- promised in his Majesty's Speech. • The interesting 'and important document from the East IndleS, which. we submit to our Readers in general this day, will afford the highest satisfialion to the country. It is very gratifying to find that the Native troops .were wholly unaffeaed by muti nous views, and. were deceived by their Officers into the. part they aced. The folly of these Officers was ecpal to their criminality, as it was impossible to suppose that they could finally succeed in . their obje&, but on the contrary could only exPose thctuselvesto discomfiture and ruin. We confidently predicled -.that the vigilance, wisdom, and decision which mark the character of Lord MINT°, would soon put an end to the _unfortunate business, however alarming it appeared to be at one period; . and wehme the plea sure not only of finding ourselves , right in our esti mate of that Nobleman, but that in the happy issue which attended it, the 'Country is greatly- in debted to the resolution, prudence, and enlightened policy of Sir GEORGE BARLOW, WildSe condua and character have been scandalously attacked in the OppositiOn Papers. We may now safely issure our selves, not only that all these, turbulent and winked transactions are at an end, but that the Governmeit Of our Settlements in the ,East Indies will hereafter be established upon too solid a toundation to be en dangered by similar machinations. Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, the KING came ,to town from Windsor, and was received at the `Queen's , Palace by the Dukes of YORR, and CUM ERRLAND. Soon after two o'clock, tiis MAJESTY held a private Levee, - which way attended by The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President of the council, the First Lord of the Trea sury and Chancellor of the Exchequer, the three Secretaries of State, the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord Steward of the Household, Lords HedtliAern (gold stick) Somerville (in waiting), Kenyon, kolle, General Gordon, groom in watung, l'hefollowing had the honour of being presented to his MAJESTY...-.

An experiment experithent for . this very im;tortant ob , jea mr - a tried at Lo'•vestoft a few days s;ri e, betdr,.e - •nagers of the lite-boat and the salvage-in-:I 'that place; on a - proposed. plan to g:•I a Ir.-in the beach over the sul in storm, the ditticties . of which have' be..n considereJ insurmountable, and generally found to be itiapriwticable by the united, Force ot any number w'rnen,by the power of oars, to keep a bOat's head to the sea .141 d tit pull over a high sari and strong tide in a heavy. gale of wind ; toe following is a - description of -the plan and method which was used :—A stout hawser of abOPt 20 fa thorns in-length, having an anchor -at each end, was laid at sea parallel with the s.iare i at a distance far beyond ibe reach of the breaker, the hawser was not distended by about otte-iitih of its length, (con, sequemly left a considerable bit'to act - similar to the . moorings of a ship when banred upon),, to the centre of - which a rope was made fast, of sufficient length to allow for the flowing of the tide ; and to the (other extretnity of the rope was a' buoy that suspended : the hawser and prevented it froth chaping oretnhed-7 ding in the sand', 'at the same time remained where the centre of the hawser lay: The mortar. being . brought and .pointed for the buoy, and a. basket 6 fret iii length, 3 in breadth. and 4. inches deep, hav ing a:coil : of one and a half inch ...rope laid trans versely in it,was placed in front of the mortar and tired with a:barbed shot. that. hooked ou the hawser, and 4nostluily answered every. intention • of this import ant objekt, the shot. being , porticularly constructed, has the property of . , securing. itself, and' every encleaVoUr, todiseogage its hold proved in vain. TheServicecan beperformed in less titan .a minute from the arrival of the rope. It received the most deserved praise of all present, and may he ranked among the most useful inventions that ha.e been pro- . duced for the ctimtnercial and , maritime intetest.— To Captain MANDY, of Yartnoptit,.we are - indebted for this very ingenious contrivance; who lately sat ed the crews of two vessels- by neatly the same pro . cosi.
